I was trying to change the icons for phone, messaging, contacts, mail and camera to the ics icons but i was only successful in changing the messaging icon only.
With my evo 3d i was easily able to locate the icon files but the lte it's different. Does anyone know where the pictures are located for the contacts, mail, and camera??

Just extract this to wherever you like, then choose them from that location.

I have the icons... I just want to know where the icons are located within the res folder... they're usually in the drawable folders but i was only able to find the icon for the message apk and replace it with the ics icon. I couldn't find them in the other apks i'm trying to change the icons for and i'm curious if anyone knows where they are located.

I would like to take the icons from my Vibrant and use them on the LauncherPro Dock of my other phones.
Where can I find (for example) the Dialer icon... just the basic green dialer. My nexus has a clear/very little color icon, and I was not able to find our icon on some sites by googling...
Thanks.
bump, id like to hear the answer to this myself.

All of the system icons are located inside the .apk for the various system apps. For example, the Dialer is DialerTabActivity.apk in system/app/. If you open DialerTabActivity.apk in Root Explorer or WinRAR and look in /res/drawable-hdpi, you will find an image file named ic_launcher_phone.png. If I am understanding you correctly, that is the icon you are looking for.
Each icon would be located in a separate .apk for that particular application.
I was able to move these locked apps/icons which appear on all home screens on my SGS1, and now on the SGS2, when i try and edit the home screen(s), the phone wont let me change these.
Ive downloaded Handscent SMS which i want to use to completely replace the default messages app, so in a root explorer program just renamed the Mms.apk application to a ,bak, in doing that, it removed the messages icon from this locked menu so now i can only see PHONE/CONTACTS/APPLICATION icons and still cant add or edit anything...can someone help with this? Just wanna throw the HANDSCENT SMS icon in there...

If you're talking about the four bottom icons with the app drawer icon at the far right then you can change it quite easily. Just open the app drawer, hit menu then edit. You can drag and move whatever you'd like to the bottom area. Home/Applications must stay though.
Is there any way of changing the icons, renanming them or just pointing the existing icon to another application?
I am trying to keep the stock messaging icon but open Go SMS Pro with it instead?
TIA
I know that you can set the TouchWiz to a customizeable grid and replace the icons at the bottom, but what I want to do is when I click on the messaging icon it takes me to handcent. I like handcents app but I like the stock messaging icon better. Is it possible to redirect the shortcut to handcent and dolphin for the browser?
I'm rooted btw and thanks.
You need to go to system apps and get the icon with an explorer (I love RootExplorer) from mms.apk and put the icon in place of the handcent icon. That make sense? I can't remember the names of the icons, but I want to think they are in hpdi or something. Don't quote me on file location though.
Alright I did that. This is what I did.
Went and extracted the messaging apparently, extracted handcent took the icon from the messaging apparently and put it.in.handcent and renamed it ic_handcent.png like the original, compressed handcent again as a zip and renamed it apk but when I try to install it keeps saying application not installed.
Any clue what I'm doing wrong?

So I'm working on changing the status bar notifications and such and got most of them changed, the only ones I can't change are the SMS icon and the GMail icon. I know most of the icons are in the framework-res which I used the UOT to get the flashable zip and changed the files to my liking. Since there isn't a "stat_notify_email.png" and "stat_notify_gmail.png" in the typical (framework/framwork-res/res/drawable-hdpi) section is there a way to change the gmail.png and the sms icon inside that folder or am I going to have to somehow modify the apk for the gmail and sms app?
Hopefully I explained that correctly.
Can someone let me know where the icon for a stock APK is? I want to modify the messaging, contacts and phone icons in the dock but I can't find the image!

/system/app
I meant the icon for an app, is it in drawable-hdpi or somewhere else because I've been raking around for hours now
